Are your probiotics lactose free?

digestive enzymes: food enzyme supplements support nutrition...
Lactobacillus denotes ”lactic acid producing” or “acid loving.” The term “Lacto” does not indicate a relation to lactose or dairy, as is commonly misunderstood. Lactose may be used in the medium to grow the probiotic culture; however, this is completely removed from the final product. Our probiotic formula, Plantadophilus, is lactose-free, and prefers a pH of 6.5 to 6.8. [back to top]

Can you take DTECTA Probiotics if you are lactose intolerant?

DTECTA Probiotics | FAQ's about Probiotics
Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest significant amounts of lactose, the predominant sugar found in milk. This inability results from a shortage of the enzyme lactase. Lactase breaks down lactose into simpler forms that can then be absorbed into the bloodstream. Nearly all probiotic strains in DTECTA Probiotics are B-galactosidase positive, which means that they act like lactase i.e. they digest lactose.

What is lactose free milk?

Organic Valley | Lactose Free Milk
Organic Valley's lactose free milk is delicious and nutritious organic milk with the natural enzyme lactase added. Lactase breaks down the milk-sugar lactose into the more easily digestible sugars galactose and glucose. The lactase we add is similar to the lactase created by the body during normal digestion of dairy products. After the lactose is broken down to galactose and glucose, the milk is sometimes perceived as having a slightly sweeter flavor profile.

How is lactose free milk created?

Organic Valley | Lactose Free Milk
Organic whole milk from our pasture-fed cows is skimmed to the desired fat level, and then the enzyme "lactase" is added to the milk and slowly mixed for 24 hours. We derive our lactase enzyme from the dairy yeast Kluyveromyces. It takes a minimum of 24 hours for the lactase enzyme to break down the lactose. Samples of the milk are tested to ensure the lactose is reduced to a "lactose free" state, and then the milk is ultra-pasteurized.

Is the milk 100% lactose free?

Organic Valley | Lactose Free Milk
There are no specific federal regulations governing lactose free labeling. We believe the statement "lactose free" should meet a threshold lower than 0.5 grams per serving. Lactose tests cannot guarantee zero lactose. The test we utilize typically has a 0.1% detection limit, and does not allow us to detect lactose contents below that level.

How come imported Finlandia cheeses are lactose free?

Frequently Asked Questions
There are no international regulations to determine "lactose free". Valio Ltd (the parent company of Finlandia Cheese) is using a "lactose free" claim, when lactose cannot be found in the product (f. ex. cheese). Valio is using the best possible method (ion chromatographic method) to analyze lactose. The resolution for the method is 0.01%, which means that we can find 100 ppm (parts per million) of lactose from cheese.
